american urban green energy and general electric have teamed up to install the worlds first integrated wind-powered electric vehicle
charging station in barcelona. the system implements a ‘sanya skypump’, an innovative vertical wind tubribine technology
paired together with GE’s durastation EV charger to provide clean zero-emission energy.
originally designed for commercial and government application, a series of additional ‘sanya skypump’ units are projected to be
installed throughout the united states in shopping centers and universities later in 2012.

great idea! but is this just for show? what are the numbers? how efficient, how many cars on a windy day?
Wow thumbs up!
I know 95% of people will have no idea what I am talking about when I say, I am so glad this has nothing to do with architecture.
A wind turbine and/or solar home charging station that actually comes as part of the purchase of an electric car would be a smart idea. Excess power could be in batteries and/or put into the regular power grid.
now we’re talking
get GM into the business of manufacturing and supplying wind turbine recharging units and maybe this whole electric car thing will finally take off – just imagine returning home and plugging in to your own recharging station that has been financed in the same manner as your vehicle
